Well, the Democrat states can respond and file a counter claim concerning the practices of the Republican 17 idiots. Adjudicating the matter should take about seventeen years. If it is remanded to a district court, would that be in Michigan, or Pennsylvania? If we have a new AG, would he withdraw the case like William Barr did in the Flynn case? If Paxton has a personal stake in the matter, can he sign any pleading? John Roberts might be very upset about right now, huh? What a judicial clusterfuck if I ever saw one, huh?
It's not completely clear who actually wrote the Paxton lawsuit. In new lawsuit, Texas contests election results in Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania excerpt: "Notably, Paxton himself is listed as the agency's lead attorney on the case — a highly unusual role for the state official, who rarely plays a hands-on role even in the state's major cases. Paxton's new chief deputy, Brent Webster, signed on to the filing, but conspicuously absent is the agency's top lawyer for appellate work, Solicitor General Kyle Hawkins, who typically argues the state's cases before the Supreme Court and did so as recently as last month. None of Hawkins' deputies is listed as contributing to the case, nor are any of the agency's hundreds of other attorneys. The agency instead appears to have hired an outside attorney, Lawrence Joseph, to contribute to the case."
Hypothetical Trump statement to Paxton: "I plan to issue numerous pardons in the coming weeks to people in need. By the way, I'd like you to do me a favor."
Don't get your hopes up too high, apparently whoever drafted the lawsuit can't add In the Texas lawsuit it says the four states it wants to sue have a total of 72 electoral votes, the total is actually 62 ...lol...
If only Melania could convince Trump to just go home. Melania Trump 'just wants to go home' By Kate Bennett, CNN Updated 3:49 PM ET, Wed December 9, 2020 Melania Trump 'just wants to go home' - CNNPolitics
I almost said something to him that might have got me banned. I will just say that I really dislike people who's argument is based on what they hear on faux news, and talk radio. In other words, people who are not capable of thinking for themselves.
"She just wants to go home," said another source familiar with Melania Trump's state of mind. Asked how the first lady feels about rumors her husband might announce a 2024 bid, the source added: "That might not go over well." He will pay her off, and find another one.
Make it 18 states now, oh and the Trump team has really put on the gloves.. Look, not many know the Constitution better than Ted: President Trump asks Ted Cruz to argue Texas case before SCOTUS: report
That is Not MSN, LOL, local affiliates are like second cousins. Think a little bigger, CNNCPP, MSNBC, Faux News
3,246 U.S. coronavirus deaths on Dec. 9. At Trump's 'vaccine summit' this week he boasted about the total number of people who have been infected. It's been rising at an increasing rate during the autumn surge due in part to the lack of compliance to safety guidelines that people like Trump and DeSantis have exacerbated. Trump has said nothing about the increasing death rate.
18 Red States Are Demanding the Supreme Court Declare Trump Winner of the Election excerpt: "Texas’ case argues that election officials shouldn’t be allowed to change voting rules, even though GOP Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did just that when he extended in-person voting by a week via executive order. And it says it shouldn’t be allowed for states to count votes mailed but not received by Election Day — even though Kansas and Mississippi, two of the new signatories, allow that as well. Trump and his allies have been routinely embarrassed in court for their efforts to flip multiple states to Trump’s column: As of Wednesday, they’d lost 51 of the 52 cases that have been decided. In trial after trial, Trump and Co. have failed to show any real evidence of the widespread voter fraud that they have routinely claimed in public."
Trump's 'Elite Strike Force' Has Now Lost More Than 50 Election Challenges “Releasing the kraken” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be by Cameron Joseph December 9, 2020, 11:46am Trump's 'Elite Strike Force' Has Now Lost More Than 50 Election Challenges
Trump lawyer calls military ballots cast in Nevada 'criminal voter fraud' by Phillip MoyerFriday November 6th 2020 Trump lawyer calls military ballots cast in Nevada 'criminal voter fraud' | KSNV excerpt: "The list provided by Weir gives no way of telling how long these voters have been out of town, and how many are in college. However, the data shows something telling -- many of the votes that Weir claims to be fraudulent have overseas military addresses. To be specific, 132 of the out-of-town addresses listed have Army Post Office addresses -- addresses used for active service Army and Air Force personnel serving overseas. Another 13 are listed as Fleet Post Office addresses, which are reserved for those serving overseas in the Navy. "This is a military town," said Gloria. "We have Nellis Air Force Base. We also have several students who travel out of state to go to school. Those students are eligible to vote here in Nevada. We also have local representatives, congressmen, senators. They're up in Washington, working." Another 10 addresses are listed as being from Washington, DC, and 16 are addresses reserved for overseas diplomats."
Trump had been ranting for many months about alleged voter fraud in the upcoming 2020 election. Paxton could have filed his current Supreme Court suit or similar types of suits that appeal directly to the Supreme Court just after the election or even well before the election when states had modified their election procedures. The suits that Trump's supporters have filed in individual states could have been filed long before the election. PA changed its election rules in 2019. PA has been targeted repeatedly by pro-Trump attorneys after the election, including the latest Paxton suit.
The data firm Hawkfish predicted the post-election quagmire. The Legal Fight Awaiting Us After the Election The aftermath of November’s vote has the potential to make 2000 look like a mere skirmish. By Jeffrey Toobin September 21, 2020 The Legal Fight Awaiting Us After the Election excerpt: "In a recent poll by Hawkfish, a data firm associated with Democrats, only nineteen per cent of Trump supporters said that they planned to vote by mail, compared with sixty-nine per cent of Biden supporters. Using data from late-summer polls, Hawkfish predicted that Election Night results could show Trump in the lead, with a total of four hundred and eight electoral votes. Four days later, with seventy-five per cent of the mail-in votes counted, Biden would take the lead, with two hundred and eighty electoral votes and, with all the votes counted, the former Vice-President would win the Presidency, with three hundred and thirty-four electoral votes."
Ohio counts mail-in ballots before election day. The results can't be shown until after polls close on election day.. That approach made it appear that Biden was doing better in Ohio than he really was due to early results on election night showing predominantly mail-in votes that favored Biden. Trump took a significant lead later as election day in-person votes were tabulated and released. Trump won Ohio by about 8%, higher than polls had predicted. According to Trump's claims about vote dumps favoring a particular candidate and polls being inaccurate, Ohio was full of fraud and the election was stolen from Biden. Ohio's largest county likely to reveal hundreds of thousands of votes in minutes
